[Q] How to switch back to Stock-Rom?

Hello Guys,
i want to sell my Incredible S and now its my turn to flash it back to the original HTC-Stock Rom. Till now i used the Android Revolution Rom with a EXT4 Clockwork / Recovery Mode . The Incredible was bought in Germany so the Languange of the Stock-Rom should be German or Multilanguange.
I allready checked this Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
but i dont know which of those roms is the one iam looking for nor how to flash it back. Do i simply use a RUU-Installer or do i flash it like i did with the custom rom?
Thank you for your help!

You can just flash the RUU. I managed to get my phone back to stock that way. Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first. I did not. But use the search function. This question is already asked and answered many times now...
Use the WWE variant...

Hello wallytax,
thank you much for your answer. I realy tried the search-function but i was not able to find a helpfull thread about my question. Sorry about that.
So this one would make it :
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed
?
As much as i understand "WWE" means "World Wide English". Is this also Multilanguange (for german)?
Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first

If i have to do that, how does this work? Could you please post a Link for a tutorial?

Yes the WWE ROM is also multi-language with German.

I used this one:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20 .2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_sign ed
This is the newest Stock rom... Good luck! Hope you will succeed..

Hi Guys,
i tried the RUU-Installer wallytax mentioned. It worked like a charm!
i just had to install HTC-Sync Software and after that the Update went trough without any problem.
Thank you very much!

Make sure your phone is s-on before you sell it.

Come on dude...do a search and u'll find everything you need! Simple answer should be yes, but I'm no expert as have never done it myself, but all of the people on following links seem to say you can:

You can always go back to S-OFF with alpharevx again

Thats where my knowledge on this issue runs out my friend. Have you searched every thread to do with gaining back S-ON? It may be worth traulling through in case there's something in there which may help you. Even googling it or having a look on you tube...there's loads about gaining S-OFF so there might be something in there about S-ON.

How to revert back to HTC Sense for Incredible S ?
Hello,
As testing, I installed the latest CyanogenMod ROM on my Incredible S. But I am not at all liking the interface. Are there any ways to revert back to the custom HTC Sense ?
I saw the thread "Incredible S shipped ROMs collection" at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. But I'm not sure on how to do this and which ROM I need to install.
Can you please help me on this ? I miss HTC Sense a lot
Thank you,

I know your pain my friend as I am a fan of Sense, but fear not! There are a number of ROMs using both Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 out there at the moment all located in the development section, or nicely packaged in one place here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463. You would install these the same way you installed CyanogenMod. I am currently running Nikhil - TriNity Sense 3.5 which is currently in the process of being updated, so you may want to wait for that if you fancy giving 3.5 a go, if not then Virtuous Unity is also very good, although again expecting an update. Bslim's ROM is also sporting 3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265980
If you want to go back to your original stock ROM and did not do a Nandroid backup of it before flashing Cyanogen, then you can download the stock RUU that relates to your version of android and the radio you currently have. Look at your phone info if your are unsure of this. You then download it to your sd card and flash it the same way as all the others. If you did do a backup just restore this and hay presto!
Hope this helps.

Hello VaderXI,
Thanks a lot for replying...
I had done a backup of sense prior flashing cyanogenmod. But while trying to restore from revolutionary, its says md5sum mismatch. Not sure what happened.
I'm planning to use the ROM at 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275609' but the problem is its in Arabic. I hope i can change it when the phone is booted up and it asks for the settings.
How can I get the radio version from my phone ? IIRC, mine was using android 2.3.3 which was the latest version for HTC Incredible S. Why does the available Incredible S roms show up as .exe files ? Are these flashed as the same way as other ROMs ?
To be frank, I'm having trouble detecting the rom versions from the list in 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922'. How can i find something for android 2.3.3 Incredible S which i bought in India.
If the ROM you are using is in english, can you please send me the link for that please.
Thank you,

Cant help with the md5sum mismatch I'm afraid. Did you wipe all your data before flashing i.e. cache and dalvik cache ect?
The ROM u want to use is available in English, like u said just select it in when u first reboot.
U can find ur radio version under settings-about phone-software info-more-baseband version. Match this with the RUU in the thread and ur sorted...it will obviously be a gingerbread version. Yes they are flashed the same way as other ROMS.
All the ROMs are available in English. If they say "full Arabic", that's because Arabic is not always available on ROMs and the developer wants you to know that it is in theirs. The ROM i am currently using is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301785, but it is currently being updated and the download is not available.
All the best.

just got a vivid !! someone guide and help me installing a custom rom ! :)

hey guys !!
just got a vivid !
it is gsm unlocked from at&t and i'm using it in india !
as i just got it, i am a complete noob at it !
i have flashed atrix, thrill, n900, hd2 , etc so i am not a noob at flashing !
i dont want to s-off my device and want to install all the custom roms without doing it
someone pls guide me !
thanks....

Go to the HTC website and find the latest ICS RUU for AT&T and run it. Unlock your bootloader. Flash a custom recovery (I prefer the WCX one). Then install whichever kernel + ROM. You say you aren't a noob at flashing and such, so I assume you can do that without much hand-holding? If you need more info then follow the guide in my link but only do the steps I just told you above.

I wouldn't even attempt it without knowing the full ins and outs of what your doing. I would read, read, reread all the issues others have had. Then learn what not to do by those people so you don't end up with a brick. After you have read, read, and reread, and understand then you can attempt it. That's what I done and have never had any issue on this phone flashing anything. Please don't jump the gun and try to do this without reading!

am i good to go ?

That's how I did it...but without posting questions...I'm no expert but I read, searched and reread when migrating from icrap...didn't want to ask questions which have already been answered in other posts...that is what irritates devs...I don't think people mind questions...but at least do your homework first..

Night I recommend looking into the kernel flasher GUI mentioned in the superguide... It's how I flash kernels since I don't do hardware mods...

ok thanks to all the folks who helped me !
i have successfully unlocked bootloader, installed wcx recovery and rooted the phone !
can i flash faux dual core kernel with at&t stock ics firmware, i heard the kernel is very power efficient !
also i saw some roms have written ""s-off only"" so as my device is s-on i can't install them right !!
i know they are too many questions , but i just need to be very sure and safe before doing anything !
thanks...

You can flash faux123's if you would like. I use the kernel myself and can say that it's the quickest, most stable, and most battery friendly kernel I've used so far. You could flash those S-off ROM's as well, you would just need to extract the boot.img from the rom .zip and flash it through fastboot.

Use THIS to root. Make sure you are on ICS though so you have the updated HBOOT
If you want a stock Htc sense 3.6 (The one that is offical for our device) I would recommend Wild Childs WCXbuilds.. You can google WCXxperia for his site.
If you are looking for a newer Htc sense I would recommend Homeslices "BoRKeD" Htc sense 4.1 build
Hopefully that can help ya out.

You make it sound so easy but I have nerver done anything like this before. What´s wrong with my build I don´t really know but I guess some file on the phone is missing from unistalling some app or something.
